The person who did the first port "InAComaDial999" took down all his mods/ports for personal reasons.
Description from original mod:
So you've downloaded Interesting NPC's, Inconsequential NPC's, Patrols, Travelers and you have the Populated series going on. You love having lots of NPC's. But then when you go into the tavern at night, you see it; all of them huddled together by the door because there are not enough available objects and markers with which they can interact. This attempts to alleviate that issue; it places more markers to allow npc's more options to sandbox in inns. This also allows innkeepers to eat while they are working, because they get hungry, too.
Compatible with Immersive Citizens AI Overhaul (and highly recommended, make sure my mod is immediately below it)
Compatibility version (1. 1a and above) can be placed anywhere in the load order
Instructions: Drop the file in your skyrim data folder and make sure it is selected in your load order or mod organizer

More Tavern Idles - SSE Port adds additional sandbox markers to taverns in Skyrim Special Edition, allowing NPCs to idle and interact more naturally. With 4,500 endorsements and 293,769 downloads, it's a popular immersion mod for players who want livelier taverns. Last updated in January 2023.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust—4,500 endorsements and nearly 300k downloads show it's a go-to for tavern immersion.
- Simple concept that does exactly what it says: more markers mean NPCs actually use the space instead of standing around.
- Lightweight and likely compatible with most load orders since it just adds markers.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated January 2023—might not be tested with the latest Skyrim SE patches, so check for conflicts.
- Only affects taverns—if you want broader sandbox improvements, this won't cover other interiors.
For Skyrim SE players who love immersion and want taverns to feel alive with NPCs actually sitting, drinking, and chatting. If you're a modder or player who notices static NPCs in inns, this is a must-have. Skip if you're looking for gameplay overhauls—this is purely a sandbox tweak.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install—it's a simple drag-and-drop, but managing load order is easier with a manager.
- Place this mod early in your load order (after unofficial patches) to avoid conflicts with other mods that edit the same tavern cells.
- If you notice NPCs still not using the new markers, try starting a new game or waiting a few in-game days for the sandbox AI to reset.
